Do you appreciate it or not when you get a bonus/acknowledgement from work in the form of gift cards? To make it worse, gift cards to the store you work for?? I guess it's a sweet gesture, but I don't want anything from my store, and it sucks the joy out of getting the recognition for me. Does anyone else feel like this?

Honestly, i's prefer a hand written appreciation card etc. I work at a golf resort and if they offer gifts that need to be used here it deflated me. I work here 5/7 work over my contracted hours, id prefer not to spend additional time here

I’ve never appreciated it. It is somewhat of a sweet gesture but it’s the bare minimum. My work gives $2 coupons/vouchers for appreciation, and we have to use them in store. It doesn’t even cover lunch. Each time I get one they act like it’s the best and biggest form of showing their appreciation

I’m always grateful for the time they take when gifting me something from the store. But sometimes I do feel like they can be more creative with our bonuses.

How old are we?

Yes! To me, a bonus/acknowledgment is great…but if it’s a monetary one, then I would prefer cash or a higher paycheck for that week. My store often gives out snacks or drinks for that kind of thing.

I think gift cards from said business of employment is a bit tacky. Sometimes it's a slap in the face. A gift card from somewhere else is often a better and less offensive act to be honest. It shows integrity as an owner of said business. I was gifted a gift card and $100 bucks cash from a business that understood my worth to their establishment.
